This is a most useful and handsome plant making impenetrable weed-cover in shade among shrubs. It forms mounds of large dark green leaves, spreading by underground shoots. In spring before the new leaves are fully developed the fiddle-neck clusters of flowers change from burnt-orange buds to creamy-yellow bells.
